While looking into a case, Akbar comes across a diary. He reads about Luca, a scrap artist with mental health and rage management problems. He separates people in order to cope with his problems. One day, Niharika upsets Luca with her candid comments about his work. As Akbar reads the diary, he discovers that Niharika moves in with Luca and they start dating.

Noteworthy cinematography and music

In Luca, the cinematography is a noteworthy aspect of the movie. Although it can lead us to believe that a film, such as Luca, is better than it actually is despite all of its flaws, especially a lacklustre script. The soundtracks and background music composed by Sooraj S Kurup also gives the story a haunting feel.
